And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt offeringsmorning and evening.
4
They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the dailyburntofferings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every dayrequired;
5
And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.
